We had so much fun talking to Richard Fichtner (Java champion, XDev and JCON), who visited our cozy YouTube channel recently.
Our Community Manager Viktoriya Klementeva interviewed Richard and uncovered a few fascinating things, including:
• why Java frameworks might actually be good for your health
• the most embarrassing moment in Richard’s developer career
• how joining a Java User Group could literally save your marriage!
Watch the interview if you enjoy honest developer stories, Java community insights and a few laughs along the way - it is Friday!
